Cationic triangulenes and helicenes: synthesis, chemical stability, optical properties and extended applications of these unusual dyes
Year: 2014
Type: review
Abstract: Cationic triangulenes and helicenes are highly stable carbocations with planar and helical conformations respectively. These moieties are effective dyes with original absorption and emission properties. Over the last decade, they have received greater attention and are considered as valuable tools for the development of innovative applications. In this review, the synthesis of these unique compounds is presented together with their core chemical and physical properties. Representative applications spanning from surface sciences to biology and chemistry are presented.
